The Finished Frame

Here is the finished frame laying on our living room rug.

 

We have an antique persian in the living room. I've been photographing finished frames on it lately. I think the antique character compliments the frames well, but it might be too busy. What do you think?

 

If you went through the whole series, I hope you enjoyed my little primer on frame making. I'll try to put more of these together with the other sorts of frames I make. My great love is hand carved, water-gilded frames using real gold leaf. That is a much more involved process, and hence much more costly. I also make frames with hand-tooled and dyed leather, and fine hard-wood frames (oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany, etc) with intricate joinery and finishes.
